2+2=5

People may laugh when someone says that 2+2=5.They will surely say that either this person has a weak mathematics or he has lost his mental balance. But have you ever thought that it might be possible that this stupid expression i.e. 2+2=5 may teach us some great lesson also.

Let us explore a new dimension of the world of this expression i.e.2+2=5. 2+2=5 says that one more than the regular value, or it ignites a new flame in our heart to achieve more than what is expected or what actually may happen. may it be business, or studies, or sports or social welfare any field if we achieve more than expected than it is always fruitful(sometimes it may not be fruitful also) and becomes a source of inspiration for ourselves as well as others also. I would share one brilliant example of fruitfulness of achieving more than expected with all. Some years back Australian Cricket Team made a tour to India. They played test series with our country and one test match was organized in Kolkata(Eden Garden).in that match Australia was in commanding position in the starting days forcing Indian Cricket Team to play follow-on. Everyone just expected that our team should somehow save the innings defeat. but then what happened is known to everyone, two players namely Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman played one of the most unforgettable innings of there entire career and because of those two innings only the team i.e. India that was on the verge of loosing the match, dramatically won that match. This is what 2+2==5 means that is more than expected is fruitful (but not always).

But, one should not forget that 2+2=5 also says that always more than expected is not fruitful, it may sound annoying and also prove annoying more many others also. One should take an example from climatic behavior in this scenario.Good rainfall is always expected and is fruitful for all, for farmers, for humans, for animals and birds and for earth also, but because of this need of good rainfall and the prays that we do in front of god for good rainfall every year sometimes a situation occurs when god is more happy with us then expected resulting in so good rainfall that flood occurs causing destruction. It is not God's fault; it is actually our fault because in order to achieve new heights in technology we have disturbed the ecological balance, which causes natural calamities also. In this scenario isn't 2+2=5 is destructing? The answer is there in our mind but we are not ready to accept it. Isn’t it? Yes, it is the case. But for how long should we remain quiet? Isn’t it our duty to take care of our mother earth because she has also taken care of us since centuries? So human-species, please awake from sleep, and work for your upliftment without hurting the nature, and take the person seriously who says in front of you next time that 2+2=5.
